Super Soldier King-Chapter 19: Date
Needless to say, Ye Qian’s luck truly wasn’t too bad. It was likely the case that young people did not like being security officers, thinking that the job lacked future prospects and sufficient wages. The Tian Ya Conglomerate recruitment notice had been posted for a long time yet still nobody could be hired. Therefore, when Ye Qian came to be interviewed, the security chief wantonly asked a few questions and soon afterwards gave Ye Qian the job. He told Ye Qian to come back tomorrow with a duplicate of his identification card and three two inch photos so he could register and start work.
Ye Qian appeared to be shedding tears of gratitude. He incessantly tried to give security chief Zheng Xin a cigarette, saying “In the future I will keep an eye on things properly” and other similar things. Seeing Ye Qian being this sensible, Zheng Xin nodded with satisfaction. He assumed an authoritative air and told Ye Qian to report to him on time tomorrow morning.
With a real job, Lao Die wouldn’t have to worry anymore. After Ye Qian repeatedly expressed his gratitude, he turned around and left. Although Ye Qian was not entirely interested in this security chief that was going to be his future direct superior, that person had not wronged him in any way.
He aimlessly wandered around the streets until it was almost six o'clock, thinking of his date with Lin Rou Rou, Ye Qian hurriedly drove back.
When he arrived at the gate of the hospital he saw that Lin Rou Rou was already there, standing by the entrance in a pure white dress. She looked like a fairy that fell to earth. He parked the car in front of Lin Rou Rou and got out, eyes sweeping over her get-up. He said with a slight smile, “You are very beautiful today.”
“Thank you!” Lin Rou Rou tenderly said. Any woman would wish that their careful styling could noticed and admired by their beloved. Lin Rou Rou naturally was not an exception to this. After hearing the compliment of Ye Qian, she was endlessly happy.
Ye Qian opened the door of the car, then made a very gentlemanly action of inviting her in. He said: “ Beautiful Miss, would you possibly please share a dinner with me?”
Lin Rou Rou gave him a sweet smile in reply and went inside the car.
While they were traveling along the road, Lin Rou Rou asked with curiosity: “This is your car?”
Ye Qian shook his head, smiled faintly, then said: “No, It’s my friends. Just borrowing for a few days. Where are we going to eat?”
Lin Rou Rou was not the type to favor the rich and disdain the poor. She was not a vain girl that desired to be admired; therefore, she did not have a large reaction to Ye Qian saying it wasn’t his car. In her eyes, the important part was Ye Qian himself, not whether he had a car or whether he had money. “ I know this Western restaurant, the steak isn’t too bad.” Lin Rou Rou said.
The restaurant was called Lang Man. Inside the decor was of the style of the middle ages. From the outside it seemed that there was truly a romantic atmosphere. Ye Qian had eaten a lot of western food before, but he still found Chinese food more comforting. It wasn’t at all because he was someone who was extremely nationalistic, rather it was because he felt eating Western food was awkward and restricting. Anywhere in China there were stalls to eat. Those types of meals that one could eat on a whim made him comfortable. However since Lin Rou Rou wanted this, Ye Qian naturally could not refuse her.
After getting out of the car, Ye Qian stood to the side to open the car door for Lin Rou Rou. Lin Rou Rou’s hands were placed at the crook of Ye Qian’s arm as they walked over to the restaurant. Outside the door, a waiter politely asked: “May I ask Mister, for how many?”
“For two!” Ye Qian answered.
“Have you booked a table sir?” Another polite question.
“I haven’t!” Ye Qian somewhat impatient, damnit it, merely eating a meal yet being put under interrogation. If it wasn’t for Lin Rou Rou by his side, Ye Qian’s mouth would have exploded with curses.
“Oh! Please come over here!” the waiter welcomed the guests with an inviting gesture, pushing the door open to the restaurant, allowing them to enter inside.
The interior decoration of the restaurant was simple yet did not lose any elegance, there was even light music playing inside. There weren’t many customers inside, basically it was mostly lovers, speaking to each other in soft voices. A waitress came over to them after they were seated. She saw Ye Qian’s unconventional style of clothing and couldn’t help but to stare blankly. Usually, the gentlemen that went to eat there were dressed impeccably in Western suits. But this man in front of him was wearing very casual clothes. However, acting as a waitress, she immediately returned back to her senses, politely handing over two menus individually to Lin Rou Rou and Ye Qian. “ What would you like to eat first Mister and Miss?”
Ye Qian casually looked over the menu before promptly closing it in his hands. He said: “Do you have any good recommendations?”
Seeing the actions of Ye Qian, the waitress was even more certain that his youngster was not a rich person. He could not understand the english menu and did not know what Western food to eat. Then her eyes turned toward Lin Rou Rou who was sitting across Ye Qian, her beauty made her somewhat jealous. This beautiful girl was unexpectedly the girlfriend of this country bumpkin. This was truly a bunch of flowers being stuck in a pile of manure. In her mind she was quickly thinking, she decided to make this young fellow lose some face.” Today we have just flow in steak from the country of M, there is also caviar from E country as well a red wine, I suggest choosing the the 82 year La Fei. Mister, what do you think?
Ye Qian looking at Lin Rou Rou asked: “Rou Rou, What else do you need?”
Lin Rou Rou complexion was somewhat unsightly. If all the things the waitress just enumerated were to be brought out, the bill would be no less than thirty to forty thousand. She chose this western restaurant for the atmosphere nothing more. She did not want to make Ye Qian spend a lot of money. She thought that eating a steak was already pretty good. “No need, two steaks are fine.” Lin Rou Rou kindheartedly said, although she did not understand the family background of Ye Qian, but she had seen his father, she knows that Lao Die is only a garbage collector. Moreover Ye Qian style of clothing did not resemble a wealthy person, she did not want to embarrass Ye Qian.
A faint smile crept up on Ye Qian’s face. He knew what was going on inside Lin Rou Rou’s mind. He couldn’t help but feel his favorable impression towards Lin Rou Rou deeped. At present, this type of kindhearted, thoughtful girl was scarce. “En, in that case, two steaks, medium rare; caviar for two, I want it iced, remember, the tablespoon should use silver; red wine, just the 82 year old La Fei.” Ye Qian skillfully said.
The waitress couldn’t help but to stare blankly, she did not think this country bumpkin Ye Qian would understand how to eat caviar, could it be that she just judged wrongly? “Ye Qian, there is no need to eat this much luxurious food!” Lin Rou Rou kindheartedly said.
Ye Qian faintly smiled, he said: “ This is our first meal, in that case how can I be stingy. Don’t worry!”
Lin Rou Rou did not say anything anymore, nevertheless secretly she was touching her purse, if Ye Qian did not have sufficient money to settle the bill, she still had her card.
